This also concerns the liver cancer. Contrary to popular belief, it is not only people who drink a lot of alcohol who are affected. “Certainly, chronic alcoholism is a major risk factor, but other causes, such as hepatitis B or C virus infection, non-alcohol-related cirrhosis, and genetic factors, can also lead to liver cancer.” In addition, the Professor recalls that liver cancer can be asymptomatic at an early stage. He therefore reminds us that it is important to get tested regularly if you are a person at risk.

Other cancers
If you don’t drink alcohol or smoke, you can still develop cancers ORL. Papillomavirus, especially types 16 or 18, is associated with a high risk of developing oropharyngeal cancer. “Human papillomavirus infection is associated with a specific type of head and neck cancer called head and neck squamous cell carcinoma”specifies the expert. “This type of cancer can affect different parts of the head and neck, including the mouth, throat, tonsils and base of the tongue.”
The others types of cancerwhich are not usually associated with alcohol and cigarettes, can also affect you, even if you have very good lifestyle. And, otherwise, some people do not develop cancer despite very bad habits. It’s unfair, but unfortunately that’s how it is.
In the end, everyone risks develop cancereven with a healthy lifestyle. It is therefore important to make screenings when necessary, to diagnose them fairly quickly.
